My cruise is Sapphire princess; embarkation is from Vancouver on May 25, 2024. Nothing is shown in the app..

I have downloaded princess app in my phone. I was searching entertainment or show schedule and location for the entire voyage. It is not showing any except quiz. When can we see the schedule? Btw, our trip is to Alaska in May in Sapphire..

I got a email from princess that we need to pickup medallion from blue line during embarkation at vancouver for alaska voyage. What is blue line?

Great discussion on timing at GBNP. We will be on NB princess sapphire on May 30th. Iternary shows 6 am to 3 pm. It appears that entry into the park is scenic and possibilities for wild life viewing. How long the ship stays near the glacier prior to sailing back? We have obstructed view cabin. How do we time our viewing from open deck? I don't think it is possible to stay all 8 hours in open deck. We may need to go back to breakfast and lunch etc..My question is which section of passage one should not miss? After I have a close look at iternary, it reaches college fjord only next day evening. Why is it take about 24 hours to reach from glacier bay to college fjord? Thanks

I booked Yukon pass train directly from railway website. It is slightly cheaper than from princess. I think it is about $145..

My friend and my family sailing in Sapphire princess in May to Alaska. This is our wedding anniversary trip. What are the options that cruise line offers for any celebration or dinner on anniversary day? If any such exist, what should we do?

My friend and I booked two separate booking in Sapphire princess for Alaska cruise. We both installed princess app in our phones. How do we request dinner table for us to sit together? We're 4 people in the group.

Thank you so much!

I am thinking of keeping passport, medical supplies, toiletries, pair of extra clothes in backpack, wallet and check-in rest of them...

Excellent guidelines by martincath on how to efficiently manage the time. Will follow the same. Arrive early around 9 am ; drop the luggage and wander around and reach by 2 pm for smooth embarkation or arrive at cruise port from hotel around 2 pm. Few more questions.. 1. If we start Granville island by 1 pm, will it be risky to reach by 2 pm? 2. If we drop the baggage early, I assume we have to carry the wine bottles in the hand. We don't buy the drink package. I assume we just need the passport and cruise app handy during embarkation. 3. Any recommendations on spa centers close to cruise port Thanks

We will be sailing one week in Sapphire in June. How the self service laundry to be used? Should we bring coins and detergent from home or use creditcards? What is the cost of using the self service laundry and dryer? Thanks

The southbound schedule also has similar issue, I assume. As most of the ships reach Vancouver Port early morning around 7.30 am, the narrow portions (Johnsonton straight and georgia straight) are passed during night..

We will be in Juneau port on May 29th. Planning to rent a car from airport and visit few attractions including the glacier. Will be driving north till eagle beach and return back to downtown. Planning to stop at Auke bay ferry terminal. I am wondering if we can go for quick whale watching tour (may be one or two hours) without any pre booking. I have already booked Kenai Fjords National Park 6 hours tour in Seward. Therefore I did not book another long (3 to 4 hours) whale watching tour in Juneau. Since Juneau is famous for whale watching tours, I am tempted to go one short tour without breaking the bank, as many 3 or 4 hours tour costs about $200 per person. Any suggestions?

The only option available for NB cruise to maximize the scenery viewing, is sacrifice some sleep..Stay awake previous day night and get up early and grab a coffee and go to viewing deck..

Any tips on balcony upgrade biddings? I have May 25th reservation for obstructed OV in Sapphire. Would like to upgrade to OV or balcony .
